Abstract

An anti-falling mechanism, configured and adapted on a photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment for cleaning photovoltaic panels, is provided. The photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment includes a body and a cleaning rack, in which the anti-falling mechanism is being mounted on. The cleaning rack includes several connecting rods which are detachably connected. The anti-falling mechanism includes a first hook and a second hook, each of the first hook and the second hook comprises a fixed part and an anti-falling part, the fixed part is fixedly connected with the anti-falling part and the fixed part is detachably mounted on the first connecting rod. By adopting the anti-falling mechanism, the body of the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment can be prevented from falling off from the photovoltaic panels during cleaning process of the photovoltaic panels.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment, comprising:
 a body, the body comprises an anti-falling mechanism; and 
 a cleaning rack comprising a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a third connecting rod and a fourth connecting rod which are detachably connected, wherein the anti-falling mechanism comprising a first hook and a second hook, and each of the first hook comprises a fixed part and an anti-falling part, and each of the second hook comprises a fixed part and an anti-falling part; 
 wherein the anti-falling mechanism is mounted on the cleaning rack; 
 the fixed part of the first hook is fixedly-connected with the anti-falling part of the first hook, the fixed part of the second hook is fixedly-connected with the anti-falling part of the second hook, and each of the fixed parts of the first hook and each of the fixed parts of the second hook is detachably mounted on the first connecting rod of the cleaning rack of the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment, respectively; 
 wherein the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment is configured for use on one or more photovoltaic panel arrays, and further comprises an obstacle crossing mechanism, wherein the body further comprises a telescopic mechanism, the telescopic mechanism cooperates with the obstacle crossing mechanism to realize movement of the body from one photovoltaic panel array to another photovoltaic panel array; and 
 the obstacle crossing mechanism comprises a moving rack and a fixed rack, a locking device is arranged on the fixed rack, a limiting member is arranged on the moving rack and the locking device cooperates with the limiting member to lock the moving rack on the fixed rack; the locking device comprises a bottom plate, a locking hook, a rotary force applying member, a restoring member, a first stand column, a second stand column, a third stand column, a fourth stand column and a pulling rope; 
 the bottom plate is fixed on the fixed rack; 
 a fixed column is arranged on the bottom plate and the locking hook is rotatably connected with the fixed column; 
 the rotary force applying member is connected with one end of the locking hook and the rotary force applying member can outwards pull away the locking hook under an effect of external force to unlock the limiting member; 
 the restoring member is arranged at a junction between the rotary force applying member and the locking hook, and when the external force acting on the rotary force applying member disappears, the restoring member enables the locking hook to be restored; 
 the first stand column and the fourth stand column are located at two ends of the bottom plate, and the second stand column and the third stand column are located between the first stand column and the fourth stand column; 
 two vertical pulleys which are respectively at a high position and a low position are arranged on each of the first stand column and the fourth stand column; 
 a horizontal pulley is arranged on each of the second stand column and the third stand column; and the pulling rope is wound on the vertical pulleys and the horizontal pulleys and then is connected with the rotary force applying member. 
 
     
     
       2. The photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixed part of the first hook is fixedly and vertically connected with the anti-falling part of the first hook, and the first hook is an L-shaped hook; and the fixed part of the second hook is fixedly and vertically connected with the anti-falling part of the second hook, and the second hook is an L-shaped hook. 
     
     
       3. The photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment according to  claim 2 , wherein a plurality of mounting through holes are arranged in the fixed part of the first hook; and a plurality of mounting through holes are arranged in the fixed part of the second hook. 
     
     
       4. The photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment according to  claim 1 , wherein one sliding groove is arranged in each of the four side surfaces of each connecting rod of the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod, the third connecting rod and the fourth connecting rod of the cleaning rack of the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment. 
     
     
       5. The photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of hollow through holes are arranged in each connecting rod of the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod, the third connecting rod and the fourth connecting rod of the cleaning rack of the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment. 
     
     
       6. The photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment according to  claim 5 , wherein the number of the hollow through holes is five.
